Section 2:

Radar Gun Placement & Mounting

Refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 for general placement
guidelines. Refer to the gun manufacturer's manual for
precise placement. Radar gun should be located no
more than 300' (91 m) from pitcher’s mound.

If a radar gun is located in a control room, the gun may
not read correct speeds through glass and tinted glass.

Note: Daktronics does not provide any standard
enclosure or rain shield for radar guns.


The Jugs radar gun package includes both a tripod
(preferred) and a wall mount bracket. Refer to Drawing
B-1023369
in Appendix A for instructions on how to
attach a radar gun to these devices.

Note: The tripod can be set as low as 22.5" (570 mm)
to not block the view of fans. It can also be set as high
as 55" (1390 mm) to provide a good angle for
accurate speed measurements.

If the gun is still off angle after mounting, speed adjust
calculations can be performed to offset this. Refer to the
instructions in Drawing A-243741 in Appendix A and
enter the final coefficient value into the All Sport console.
